Certain of the holders 10, therein illustrated, are of the same length or height while it will be apparent thatftheA tops of the holders extend only slightly above the top of the drawer l2 when the holders are arranged within the grooves 19 whilethe holders project a much greater distance above the drawer when arranged within the grooves 17.

A serviceable display drawer is arranged which may be readily positioned within a cabinet, having glass sides or otherwisevas rlesircd, and arranged for holding a large quantity of goods on display and readily removable in the event of a sale.
